EPiServer Module 3.3.0.38 Released
EPiServer Module 3.3.0.38 has now been released.
This release fixes an issue where unpublished pages when deleted from within EPiServer were not also being removed from the Topic Map. This would cause an already deleted unpublished page to show as a valid association within the Topic Map Editor interface. If you have previously encountered this issue, you must manually remove the topic for the deleted unpublished page as the consistency checker is unable to determine topics that do not have an associated page within EPiServer at this time.
Compatibility with EPiServer CMS 5 R2 SP2 RC has also been tested. We are aware of cosmetic issues with the Topic Map Editor when using Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox however.
EasySearch Video on EpiLabs and YouTube
Our EPiServer search engine has made it onto YouTube thanks to a great blog post by Stein-Viggo Grenersen of BVNetwork on EPiLabs. The video shows how to use EasySearch with episerver categories (or topic maps classification) to provide high performance faceted filtering of full text search results.
Enterprise Services 1.1 Released
We have just made a new version of Enterprise Services available for download. This release fixes a bug with the indexing of hierarchies where one topic has multiple parents in the same hierarchy. There are no compatibility issues with version 1.0 of Enterprise Services and so this is a recommended upgrade for all users of Enterprise Services 1.0.
Please check the instructions contained in UPGRADE.TXT for important information on the upgrade process.

subj3ct.com Released
Today we are proud to have launched Subj3ct.
Subj3ct is a Subject Identity Resolution Service, it provides both a portal for humans to use and an API for developers and applications. We store subject identifiers, equivalent identifiers and also links to web resources that contain structured or unstructured information about a subject.
The resolution service is intended to provide services to:
a) people looking to re-use common identifiers in order to improve interchange
b) application developers who are building the next generation of web applications, where dynamically finding and merging linked data is key
We are starting out in gathering mode, trying to get collections of identifiers registered so that we have a useful set of subjects.
Once we have this we will be creating new features and writing more on how to use the service in building Web 3.0 applications.
In the meantime, we would really appreciate it if people can register subject feeds and just generally provide feedback on the portal and API.
Everything can be found at https://subj3ct.com
Finally, thanks for all the support and encouragement we have received in putting this exciting service together.
The Subj3ct Team
